Re: Mysterious Night ‘Hum' Plagues British Village

Refreshed, I, depending on the weather, when one gets these damp quiet nights hear this fairly high pitched humming, we joke about it saying it's the 'triffids' returning. My son who is an electrical engineer has told us that he has heard these sounds but only when he is on call-out during the early hours. He thinks its the dampness effecting transformers, and as most of this happens in countryside areas it would be very hard to locate the source as sound reverberates depending on the environs it occurs.

I think the sounds that I hear emanate from town transformers or the street lighting, again depending on the atmospherics but it's always in the quiet evenings or nights, so I guess it's there all the time and if it can effect one healthwise as it has been claimed that pylons do then we have a problem.
